A Real Friend (2008)

Director: Enrique Urbizu

Genre: Horror

Country: Spain

Summary: A little girl begins to see specters haunting her apartment complex. Meanwhile, her mother, a nurse at a local hospital, fears that she has become a target for a mysterious stranger. Finally, an elderly priest has come to their hometown seeking an ancient enemy.

Impressions: You get three perspectives in this film, but the movie doesn’t really start to make sense until the last thirty minutes. By then I realized it was more surreal than real. It’s not as solid as An Xmas Tale, in my opinion, but the effects and makeup were awesome, and the characters were also very intriguing. It made me want to watch it all the way to the end, no matter what.
